What muscles make up the anterior oblique subsystem?
External obliques, internal obliques, adductors, hip external rotators
What muscles make up the lateral subsystem?
Gluteus medius, adductors, TFL, quadratus lumborum (contralateral)
Which subsystem creates contracting tension to absorb and control ground reaction forces during gait?
Deep longitudinal subsystem
Which subsystem creates and maintains stabilization of the LPHC during movement?
Lateral subsystem
Which subsystem provides a functional element of stability to LPHC as a whole, and also works with deep longitudinal subsystem during gait?
Posterior Oblique Subsystem
Which subsystem creates stability from the trunk, through the pelvis, and to the hips, contributing to rotational movement?
Anterior Oblique Subsystem
Anterior View: Straight and parallel; not flattened or externally rotated
Feet/ ankles
Anterior View: In line with toes; not in knee valgus, or knee varus
Knees
Anterior View: Level pelvis; not rotated or hiked on one side
LPHC
Anterior View: Level; not elevated or rounded
Shoulders
